AI Generated Summary

The Plaintiff/Appellant's claim against the Ghana Police Service for wrongful termination was dismissed by the trial court on the grounds that it was statute-barred under the Limitation Act 1972. The Plaintiff's appeal argued that the limitations period should not have begun until the internal appeal process was concluded and that his right to appeal had been infringed. The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's decision, holding that the statute of limitations began with the dismissal letter and that there were no legal grounds for extending the statutory period. The appeal was dismissed, with all concurring judges agreeing with the decision.
